A re**er container keeps things cool. But how cool, exactly? ❄️
That depends entirely on what you’re storing.
A re**er container can be set to maintain a specific temperature. You select the required setpoint on the controller, the refrigeration unit then works to bring the container to temperature and maintain it as consistently as possible.
And that setpoint can vary considerably depending on the cargo.
Fresh produce may require a temperature above freezing, chilled food and beverages are commonly kept at low positive temperatures, while frozen products generally require temperatures well below 0°C.
For example, depending on the product and its specific storage requirements:
🥬 Fresh produce: often around +2°C to +13°C
🥤 Chilled food & drinks: often around 0°C to +5°C
🧊 Frozen products: commonly around -18°C
❄️ Deep-frozen storage: can require temperatures below -20°C
One important detail: a re**er is primarily designed to maintain the required temperature. The correct setting also depends on the product, airflow, loading method and the re**er model being used.
